DODGE, GA,
Dodge, Ga., Feb. 5,
Mr. Editor:
Would you be so kind as to
grant me spaco enough to put in a
word or two.
lam very proud to say that I
am a reader of the "Good Old Re
porter." It brings good words of
cheer every week. It has been al
most three years since I had the
pleasure of a weekly visit by the
Reporter until Jan. 1906.
I see in the notes that I am not
the only "Stokes Tarheel" away
from home.
What puzzles me is how Bob
Tail keeps so well posted on the
happenings of Walnut Cove Route
5, when ho resides in Roanoke,
Va. Must be something of in
terest to him back in old Stokes.
I noticed in the issue of Jan. 18,
where Mr. E. P. Newsom, of King,
has returned home on a three
month's furlough. He must be in
the U. S. Array Tell us all about it, I
old sport.
Georgia has a record breaker on
a mild winter this year, so far. 1
The ground has been frozen only 1
twice since last April.
There are some few cases of I
pneumonia reported in this sec
tion. ■
Will close as I want to stay on
the good Bide of the editor.
Will come again.

DANBURY, N. C., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 190G
"BILL KUGTY" WRITES.
Offers a Few Words of Criticism In
Regard to the Reporter's Corres
pondents.
Editor Reporter:
Having an idea that at least
some of yon r correspondents would
like to know what your readers
think of them, and their letters in
the Reporter, I will dare to say
what I think of some of them.
First, the most prolific is
"Dog-Killer," a real good fellow,
who has done more good than he
knows. His agricultural articles
are good and practical and have
made aud saved many dollars for
those who have taken his advice.
But his articles on other subjects,
notably his replies to Timothy,
are too long drawn out. A lot of talk
but not much said and I fear
Timothy will not write again.
Though I am sure he could write
interesting letters on other than
as he contends—"the soulless
negro."
"Mc," X believe, comes next to
"Dog-Killer" in the number of let
ters written and his letters are
good and readable, and we hope
he practices all he preaches. If
so, you ought to have him write a
letter every week like "Plowboy"
does for the Union Republican.
I hadn't thought of it but don't
"Dog-Killer" remind you some,
what of the Republicans "North
Easter" in his ability to snow un
der an opponent.
What has become of two Batch
elors? Both wrote readable letters
The Dillard Batchy was especially
interesting and we want more let
ters from him even if you have to
pay for then}.
Where is Sunday School Teach,
er ? Perhaps captured or cornered
by one of the Batchelors. If so,
she is somewhat excusable. But
if not we would be glad for her to
tell "Mo." what she thinks of his
old fogy notions about dress and
old time religion,
Has William, of Swinginglimb,
goue West or has he got married?
Why don't he write some more
funny letters. Many subscribers
enjoyed his wit and fun.
Your voting contest was very
interesting and proved I guess
profitable to you. Now can't you
think up a »cheu»e by which to in
orease the number of your corres
pondents who write good letters in
stead of so many that tell of smiles,
grins and glums. >
Get your writers interested in
each other and have them say
what they think eaoh others let
ters. It will do good.
Yours for fun,
BILL KUGTY.
A HEALING GOSPEL.
The Rev. J. 0. Warren, pastor
of Sharon Baptist Church, Belair,
Ga , says of Electrio Bitters: "It's
a Godsend to mankind. It cured
me of lame back, stiff joints, and
oomplete physical oollapse. I was
so weak it took me half an hour to
walk a mile. Two bottles of Elec
tric Bitters have made me BO
strong I have just walked three
miles in 50 minutes and feel like
walking three more. It's made a
new man of me." Greatest reme

Death of Mr. Jas. Highfill.
The subject of this sketch, Jus.
Highfill, was born April 7th, 1825,
died January 31st 15)0(5, at his home
in Summerfield, N. C., being 80
years, 2 months and 6 days old
after an illness of seventeen days
of lagrippe. He was a consistent
member of the Missionary Baptist
Church, and left great consolation
to his family that he had gone to
rest. He asked them all to meet
him in heaven.
His funeral was preached by
his pastor Rev. W. H. Wilson at
the Baptist Church in Summer
field, Feb. Ist to a large congrega
tion of sympathizing relatives and
friends. His text being from
Deut. 32: 11-12, also part of 13
Chapter of John. After which lie
was interred in the Baptist ceme
tery to await the resurrection of
the just.
He was thrice married. His last
wife, four sons, four daughters and
seven grand children survive him
with a large host of friends, His
children all live in Summerfield
except one daughter, who lives in
Kernersville, and one son living
near Madison. He leaves one
half-brother, his other brothers and
sisters having proceeded him to
the better world. He taught his
children to live honest and truth
ful lives, all of whom are profess
ing Christians.
Of course he will be missed. In
his death there is a vacancy that
can never be filled, but our loss
however, is his gain. Let us strive
to meet him there, where there
will be no more separations.
The family appreciated tho
kindness shown the deoeasod
during his last illness, also tho
sympathy to the bereaved ones,
HIS SON.
A Composition on Sincerity.
Whocanßay:"l am sincere?"
I don't believe there is one sin
cere person in this whole sinful
world. No not one. First, what
does sincerity mean? Freedom
from disguise. What girl or what
boy never tried to deoeive any one.
Where is the girl who would not
try to take her friend's beau from
her if she had the slightost oppor
tunity. You may think you have
one true friend, whom you can
confide in, but alas, that true
friend has another true friend.
There was never a girl that knew
anything and kept it to herself.
No, that is impossible for a girl to
do. But, here, I (the writer) am
a girl myself and I believe boys
are just as fickle as girls. There
is nothing I try harder to master
than I try to be sincere, and I find
that sinoerety is the hardest thing
to obtain of any thing elso on tho
globe. Yet I know it is the most
important point. Whero is the
girl who wouldn't fool a man if
she could, and on tho otlior hand j
where is the boy who wouldn't fool ]
any girl he could? What lady over!
got married and could say truth
fully to her husband "No man I
have ever seen, have I ever . al
lowed to take any advantage what- i
ever of me." Don't you think that
man ought to be prouder of that
wife than ho would be of a lump
of gold that size?
I wonder if the people who
claim to be sanctified are all sin
cere, if so I want this sanctifica
tion more than all else. No, I
don't believe there is any one in
the land who won't deceive somo\
times. If any one knows of such
a person please let me know, 1
would like to shake her paw, and
I'll say "She is an Angel, and not
for this world."
SINCERITY.
